okay so we're going to first talk about um the updates on the status of the zoning changes parking signs and bicy ordinance um uh did anybody uh offic of work did anybody contact you about about um about the parking changes about putting on parking signs I did notice there was some additional signs downtown I did have a conversation with Chief Lawson and I believe a lot of that stuff is in part uh the the signs I noticed was no parking here right okay no parking hair uh fine by you know yeah okay so we we gave in we gave in three ordinances which was the zoning changes uh for the downtown and the uh the parking sign changes and the parking changes and we gave the other ordinance which was the bicyc ordinance to make sure that uh nobody parks bikes on lamp poost and poles and it seems that all three of those ordinances were just ignored by the township committee um so I'm just going to make official statement to send into the township committee if everyone agrees asking them to please uh look over the ordinances and make a statement about it if they have any problems it seems that our it seems that our Township committee would rather see the entire downtown burn down I think they were forwarded to the zoning board they haven't taken I spoke to one I spoke to T last night I asked him how come um when somebody wants to do something that's against Church in state in Town Square it's okay but when somebody wants to make a farmer's market in the Town Square that's not okay and he said well maybe there are some people who have a problem with it so and I guess he was referring he wasn't referring to the produce guy next door because I spoke to him before I even even approached the subject so he must have been talking about someone who owns a market somewhere else um having a problem with having a farmers market in Town Square which is a known thing to bring people into a town so obviously our Township committee cares more about whoever it is that the person that called him up than they do about the entire entire and um it also seems that for political reasons they are yeah yeah I understand what's going on it seems that for political reasons they're not listening to anything that we're doing because probably because the person who's heading this this commission right now so I just want to make a public statement saying that uh asking that they not asking that they not that they not take political revenge on this downtown committee and and destroy the entire effort that we Tred just because they want to take some some little uh they want they want they want to take some Revenge uh on on on the other side we have become a political action committee not a not an Advisory Board to the township if we keep this more um more what to do we gave them ideas of what to do we gave them three solid ideas of what to do and they just ignored them totally and I just feel that you know that they just care more about saying power doing whatever they they want to do then they actually care about about the downtown or the town um at all so that's the updates um so it seems like they're just ignoring everything um for now so I don't know what to do about it if someone can give me some advice um as to what we can do to get them to actually do something um I would appreciate it you can talk to me after the meeting I guess
